Home DVDs (movies and photos) - what do you use?

[Hello.there]

Okay, those of you who make DVDs made up of home movie snippets, photos and music (ie cheap Christmas presents ), which programme do you use?

I've tried iMovie HD but the photos look terrible and the transitions, etc seem a bit limited. I'm still trying to get to grips with Final Cut Express, but it'll take a while....a long while....before I do.

I'm just looking for something that will allow me combine photos, video and music with a decent choice of transitions and effects. My photos are good quality so I'd love to find a programme that would maintain that quality without me needing a degree in computer science to achieve it!

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I use FCE.

Do the photos you use in FCE look okay or do you have to fiddle about with resolution, or whatever?

I adjust the photo size before importing and it looks fine on a TV. Looks a bit rougher on a computer monitor, but that's not the intended target.
